Although Midsomer's story is loved for its indelible middle plot --
The environment of class, Caroline's early life is very different.
In her 11-
In addition, she left Nuneaton's school at the age of 14 and worked in a textile factory three times a week.
It's time for me to go to work, she said, because I have to contribute.
That's what you think if you're a working class. ’2)

She offered the idea of murdering Midsomer to an independent production company, Bentley film, which later hired more BBC veteran employees.
Ironically, it was acquired by ITV, and all the experience of the BBC served the show well, ensuring that the standards did not deviate. 3)
Before screenwriter Anthony Horowitz offered to murder middle-level people, the original title was barnabby.
"I convince the producers that the real hero is the background.
Caroline Graham dug this prototype concept of English etiquette to well
The village, which retains lace curtains and thatched houses, is below this volcanic tide of blood --
Abnormal weirdness.
"Horowitz has helped to develop a set of rules that the program has been following-" The Bible in the middle ".

"For example, when he first arrived at the scene of the murder and pointed to the body and said, 'Sir, 'Troy got the ridicule of Barnaby,' oh-

One of the main differences between books and TV shows is the quantity of sex.
Author Caroline Graham paints a vivid and fulfilling life for Barnaby and his wife Joyce.
The series aired at eight o'clock P. M. , long before the watershed --

There is no doubt in the TV version.

"I think my colleague and I spent longer between the sheets.
Star Jane mark is more real than me and me
"Catherine, wife of life . "
But there has never been any intimacy. . .
There is no steaming scene, no chance to see the full display of the horror of Barnaby's sex life. ’7)
